Starting Point is the place to discover more about First Presbyterian, Yakima including its history, current vision, beliefs, mission and denominational issues. You will learn more about how faith in Jesus impacts our core beliefs and lives. You will also discover how you can get connected in such a large church. You will meet the pastors and staff and be given the opportunity to join First Presbyterian Church of Yakima at the conclusion of the class.

Each of us is born with a God-sized hole in our life.  Everyone... no exceptions!  We see it in our search for purpose, meaning and a reason for living.  We try possessions, positions, success, relationships, but none of these can adequately fill the void.  Even religion or spiritualism can’t satisfy the emptiness at our core.  God created us this way with the express purpose that we would long for Him and for eternity.

There is only one solution.  There is only one way that leads to a life that makes sense of our struggles and frees us to celebrate our joys.  It is the certain hope available for this life and the absolute hope for eternity in the presence of God. Starting Point @ First Presbyterian is an invitation to take a journey where questions and uncertainty are welcome and the course setting includes honest discussions about life and faith.

Some of the topics that will be explored at Starting Point include:
•   Why am I significant?
•   Why does everyone’s journey begin with “s” words (sin, separation, selfishness)?
•   Why should I trust Jesus?  What makes Him so special?
•   How can I build a foundation for my faith and life with God?
•   What are the essential Christian beliefs about Worship, the Bible, Church and Service?

At FPC, we believe that only God can fill the central missing piece in our lives. Whether you are new to First, or you’ve been around for years, this is the place to start, or to get reconnected to the basics of the Christian faith. Starting Point will provide insights on God, the Bible, Christianity, and the beliefs of FPC Yakima.
